MMlfflfS SftHJI What the Republican Leader in His Centre Hall Speech. FEW HINTS TO EX GOV. PATTISON The Policies of the Republican Party In State and Nation Outlined —Some Fact 6 For the"Man With the Hoe." Great Crowds Listen. Following is the speech in full of Judge Pennypacker, delivered at Cen tre Hall, on the opening of the pres ent campaign: "Some time ago I was the president judge of one of the courts of common pleas in Philadelphia, but that situa tion has disappeared, and now I have no other vocatiou in life than that of a farmer. "As the owner of a farm in Mont gomery county and of another in Ches ter county, to that extent at least I may claim to have a community of in terest with you and a place in this large assemblage. "I also appear before you as the candidate of the Republican party for the office of governor of this grand and exceptionally great common wealth, and 1 know of no class in the community who are more vitally In terested in the maintenance and fur therance of those principles and the support of that party which has brought about tho present prosperous condition of affairs than the owner of and workers upon the farm. "The only way to judge of parties and of men is by their fruits and not by their promises alone. "For 60 years prior to 1861 the Dem ocratic party had control of the affairs of this state and in the main those of the country. It was the same state, with the same glorious early mem ories, the same wealth which the Lord had given to it in its deposits of iron, coal and oil, tho same beautiful streams and green meadows for the pasture of cattle which have made Lancaster county the richest agricul tural county in America, and the same industrious and God-fearing people that we have now anxious and willing to turn tho soil with labor that they might be gladdened with the returns or harvest DEMOCRATIC DEBT $40,000,000. "From 1837 to 1842, under the op eration of the anti tariff legislation of 1833, a cow and a calf sold in the spring of the year for SB, and corn and potatoes only brought in the market 12 Yt cents a bushel. In 1857 a railway company In Philadelphia advertised for 250 men at 60 cents a day wages, and there were 5,000 applicants. When the Democratic party surrendered con trol of the state in 1861 there was a stato debt of over $40,000,000. "To meet the exigencies of that debt and the necessities of the state gov ernment taxes were imposed not only upon farm land and horses and cattle, but upon all trades and occupations. The only real disgrace which the his tory of Pennsylvania discloses was when, under Democratic management, in 1843, there was a temporary repu diation of the stato debt. "Durng the 40 years In which the Republican party has conducted our state affairs that debt has been re duced at the rate of a million dollars a year, until at tho present time it practically no longer exists. The tax ation of the farmer's land and herds of cattle for the purposes of tho state have been brought to an end, and the revenues necessary for the annual expenditure have been Imposed upon the corporations. There aro In the treasury over $12,000,000. PATTISON SHOULD ANSWHR. "The distinguished gentleman who leads the opposition said in his speech at Reading the other day that taxation Is unequal and that a greater propor tion of the burden ought to be laid upon personal property. If he means by that suggestion that a greater bur den ought to bo Imposed upon horses and cattle, corn and wheat, it would be a return to the old order of things, and not an advance. If he means that a greater burden ought to be imposed upon the earnings of corporations, it Is certain that the principle was dis covered and applied not by the Demo cratic but by tho Republican party. "The reason for the taxation of land is historical rather than logical. If yon were to read the Commentaries of Coke upon Littleton you would find that the whole law at that time was devoted to questions arising out of the ownership of real estate. At the time of the settlement of Pennsylvania there were no other investments than those in land, and even in the days of our grandfathers an increase in indi vidual wealth meant an accumulation of one farm after another and per chance a mill The leaders of the Republican party were the first to get away from the traditions of tho past and practically to perceive that the conditions of lifo had changed The principle adopted by them ought gradually and wisely to he extended further, so that the expen ditures necessary for the maintalnance Of roads, county improvements a,nd county expenses should be provided for not by relieving one class and imposing the burden upon another, but by a sys tem under which all property, corporate as well as individual, should contrib ute according to its value. PERIODS OF DEPRESSION. "The history of the world shows that every once in a while occurs a period Itvhcn such a spirit of unrest seizes up on th« people that they have been will ing to abandon their homes and thoJt lands in quest of other and better for tunes. Time and again there been great depreciation of the valut of lands in England and in all othei countries. Somewhat similar cause? produced In earlier ages tho inpouring of races into Europe, the emigration to and settlement of this country and the flow of people from New England to the far West. About 1790 land fej) very much in value and there were dur ing the noxt few years extensive emi grations from Pennsylvania to Canada to the Genesee county in New "fork and to the Shenandoah Valley and Kentucky. During the last twenty five years we have been going througt a period in which the conditions were such that in the East at least the val ue of farm lands was decreasing, the amount of farm mortgages were ac cumulating, and the farmers were un rewarded for their toil, unhappy and discontented. "The general cause of this condition of things is easily to be seen. The opening of numerous railroads throdfeh out the country affording facilities fot the transportation of grain from interior to the seaboard, has brought the Eastern farmer with his higfc priced lands into competition with the West, where a rich soil hitherto un used, and, therefore, productive with out fertilizers, could be secured for o nominal consideration. It was a tem porary condition, and It is rapidly pass-. Ing away. "The governmental and railroad lands of the West are occupied, with each year they become less productive and great centers of population like Chicago, St. Louis and Denver are call ing upon the territories surrounding them for food. THE MAN WITH THE HOE. "When the world catches up with its supply of wheat, and tho time is sure to come, and is not far distant, the man with the hoe, or if you choose with tho plow and reaper and binder, will have his grip on tho situation. The great revival of business which began with the return of Mr. Cleveland to private life, which has given the manufacturer wealth and his employes abundant and well paid labor, is now beginning to affect the farmer. Every wave which influences for good or ill financial affairs reaches first the stock market, then the mills and marts, and last of all, the farmer, who represents the most conservative and stable of all classes in the community. Already we feel the zephyrs which precede the blast, already we have the ripple which is the forerunner of tho great wave. Within the last two years corn, oats, horses and cattle have all en hanced In value, and it is inevitable that with the increase of the value oi farm produce, unless we do something to interfere with existing conditions, there must be an advance in the value of farm lands. "Like every one else the farmer reaps a benefit from the general pros perity, but he has a double reason for being interested in the success of the Republican cause. THE REPUBLICAN POLICY. "It has ever been the policy of tho Republican party to build up and main tain the manufactures of the country, and around every mill for the makinp of iron, steel, carpet, silk and even tin, which latter we were told only a few years ago could not be produced in this country, are gathered tho homes of tho laborers and their fam ily. Since that party came into pow er tho population has grown more than In the century before, and all arc con sumers of beef, corn, wheat and pota toes. All must live upon what the farmer has to sell thom. That policy is now doing even more. The sue cess which has followed upon it has developed strength and courage upon the part of our manufacturers and merchants, and they are reaching out in all directions for tho trade of the world. Everywhere the American products are being introduced, and not only the wealth which is created at homo, but that of farther India is being poured into our lap. A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE. "It means, unless we are unwise enough to interrupt and interfere with the tide which is carrying us forward, that this is In the near future to be a country of immense wealth, teeming with happy and prosperous peopie. The great centres of population which have arisen along the Thames and Seine will be dwarfed in comparison with thoße which will be found along the Hudson and the Delaware. The development we have seen within the last fow years around Pittsburg and on the Pennsylvania Railroad outside of Philadelphia, where farm lands have risen in u brief period from a hundred to thousands of dollars per acre In value, is but a manifestation of what is sure to happen in many other localities, unless we ourselves by unwisdom prevent it. "The Democrats themselves partici pate In the welfare which everywhere exists, and are onjoying the benefits which have resulted from tho adminis trations of McKinley and Roosevelt. It is doubtful whether they, unless it be the few who are only anxious about the offices, really want a change, and if they do. they ought in all kindness to be protected from the consequences of their want of good Judgment. For the Republicans of Pennsylvania to fail would be in the present, as it has been in the past, the first step in a career of disaster which would inflict immeasurable injury upon the whole American people, Republicans and Democrats alike."

The committee appointed by the Moulders' Union, consisting of David Rishel, chairman; Michael Tiernoy, secretary; R. \V. Fetternian, treasur er; John Richards, John Herrick, John Jenkins and Joseph Gibson on Monday forwarded the money raised —5275.30 to strike headquarters at Wilkesbarre.

He assures the moulders that the money donated will bo used to relieve some of those in distress. In conclusion Mr. Mitchell says: "I regret to say that there appears to be no immediate prospects of a set tlement; but with the support of our follow unionists we feel confident of our ability to continue the c ontest for an indefinite period and feel sanguine that the mine workers will yet secure a rate of wages sufficiently high to en able them to maintain themselves and their families and place them in a position where they can repay in part at least the trade unionists who have so generously assisted them in this, their iiour of need.

ARMY A caso at court vej.ierl •■- inv; l\i;i" ' the charge of larceny as bailee was brought summarily to a close by the discovery that (lie defendant had the more serious charge of desertion from the regular army to answer for. The case was that of Commonwealth vs. Elmer C. Halderman who was ar rested and in default of bail committed to jail in September 15. Halderman en listed at Williamsport on April 24, 1901, When lie appeared in Danville during the past summer our local police who were aware of his enlist ment suspected that he had deserted and they addressed a letter to the Ad jutant General, War Department,mak ing inquiries. In reply our Chief ol Police received a letter from Major H. A. Greene, Assistant Adjutant General, who stated that Elmer C. Halderman was a deserter at large, having run away from Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where he was a mem ber of the 12th U. S. Cavalry. Halderman pleaded guilty to the charge on which he was arrested. The court however upon learning that the defendant was wanted by the United States authorities suspended sentence. In a day or so Halderman will lie tak en to New York by Officer Yoris and delivered over into the government's hands. Nature has just one pigment on her pallette with which she produces all the marvelous tints of beauty, and that one pigment is the blood. The shell-like pink beneath the finger nails, the deli cate rose on the cheek, the cherry ripe ness of the lips, the irridescent brillance of the eyes are all produced by the blood. Just as the periuance of a beautiful painting will depend upo puri ty of the colors with which itis painted, so the permanence of beauty depends on the parity of the blood. Paint, pow der and cosmetics won't avail to pre serve beauty. Beauty begins in the blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a true beantifier, because it provides for natnre that pure blood with which alone she can paint. The use of this medicine will cleanse the skin, heighten the complexion, brighten the eyes, and give to face and form that radiance of health which is the greatest charm of beauty. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are very effective in ridding the system of clogging residuum, which ac cumulates with constipated habit. A Good Circus. Welsh Bros, shows drew two fair sized audiences, despite the inclement weather yesterday afternoon and even ing, and better satisfied spectators never li ft a circus tent. From the time the grand entry took place until the close of the performance, the acts followed each other quickly,and there was just enough to keep the eyes and mind busy and not enough to confuse one, as is the case with the three ring shows. The performances furn ished two full hours of solid enjoy ment, including some of the very best acts to be seen in any circus. The trained animals are wonderful. The clowns are very funny. Best of all they speak their pieces and do not rely alone on paiitomine to make good in the humor line. Welsh Brothers have enlarged their show to a great extent and it is their intention to make it even larger next season. Their per formances are always clean and in teresting.

Over=Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits £ -v fl TV * | by all druggists in fifty-KntJ cent and one-dollar siz es.

ANCI.K. \ WHERE PAIN MOST HURTS. Eilrriuc SCIIHHI I eness of the Fifth ■»■■<] Denial Serves, • Which part of the human body is the most sensitive to pain? A sharp definition must be drawn here between irritation and pain. Irri- Vition is not pain, but only a frequent cause of it. Thus, a crumb lodged in the larynx near the vocal cords pro duced violent irritation and prolonged coughing, which often results in actual pain. So, too, a fly or speck of dust in the eye sets up violent irritation and inflammation, followed by acute pain. Of the surface of the body, the finger tifvs and the end of the tongue are most sensitive. For instance, a burn on the fingers is much more painful than one on the back would lie, while one on the tongue would be more painful still. Deep wounds are not painful, as a rule, save as regards the surface in jury. Of pains not caused by external injuries, neuralgia of the fifth nerve, the one which supplies the skin of the head and face, is the most intense. It lias frequently driven people mad for the time being, and sufferers have been known to eut and even burn the flesh in desperate attempts to relieve it. The rupture of the branches of the dental nerve in tooth drawing also causes agony so intense that it has been stated that no human being could endure it for more than two seconds at a time. — Pearson's Weekly. Triuliiic oil th<> Xlcer. A recent traveler on the Niger writes: "I was anxious to buy some fruit from a native woman who came down to the ship, and to this end I produced a handful of coppers which I had brought out from England. I first showed her five, then six, seven and eight, but she pushed them all aside in a most unceremonious manner. More by way of a joke than anything else, I then produced n three penny piece, which she at once accepted, giv ing me in return just twice as much as I had asked for my eight coppers. I also discovered that she had a great partiality for white glass bottles. I happened to have about half a dozen empty soda water bottles, for which she gave mo the same number of eggs. I afterward found that any white glass bottle had this purchasing power all over Nigeria. The natives send them to Bida, where they are melted and made Into rings about three or four Inches In diameter, to be worn either as armlets or anklets." The Ilnrk of a DOR. Strangely enough, barking, which seems to us so characteristic of the dog, is not one of its natural sounds at all. No wild dogs bark, and, what is more remarkable, if dogs are Isolated for a long time from their human mas ters they seem to lose the faculty. Thus a number of dogs turned loose on Juan Fernandez Island were found in thirty-three years to have complete ly lost the habit, but to be able to re acquire it. On the other hand, wolf puppies, as well as young wild dogs, if reared among tame ones, readily learn to bark. It almost seems as if the sound were differentiated from the howling and yelping natural to the wild canidie in order to communicate with man and serve his purpose. It is worth observing that the habit can be eliminated when desired, as in some breeds of dogs favored by poachers. Historic Trees.

On Wednesday morning the iust I found that one of my valuable mated bay horses had been kicked ill the hock by the other one, some time during the previous night. I found him in a most deplorable condition. Him hock was swollen as tight as the skin would hold. The joint was three or four times its normal size. The horse could not liear a single jtonnd of weight on it. I applied Mover'S Whitk Liniment freely to the affected part at once. By evening the swelling was reduced one half. I bathed it again and on Thurs day morning tlx swelling had entirely disappeared. He could now stand (irmly on the injured leg again ami by Thursday night no sign of lameuess could IH> seen. This Friday morning he is working in the team as well as ever. The value of such a liniment on the farm and in the stable is iiicalcmtble. 1 think the knowledge of its merits should lie spread broadcast as rapidly and as t hoioughly as printer's ink chu make it known.
